Bots and agents should identify themselves via Web Bot Auth
UpdateUnverifiedAdded Sep 24, 2026
What's changing Shopify now applies stricter rate limits to bots and agents that access the Storefront API and Shopify-hosted online store pages. Bots and agents that don't sign their requests are subject to the strictest limits. To qualify for higher rate limits, operators should sign their requests with Web Bot Auth.
